The gas turbines also are able to run on a wide range of gas or distillate liquid fuels, including sour gas, giving PetroChina International Iraq the potential to achieve cost savings by running the turbines on the most economical fuel available.

These same gas turbines have been used in projects across the region, including in the UAE and Oman.

BHGE also owns and operates a technical services facility in the North Rumalia region, which opened in 2013 and underwent expansion this summer.
